IT WAS MUCH-OF-A-MUCHNESS IN PASSES AND POSSESSION BETWEEN CHELSEA AND TOTTENHAM IN THEIR MATCH AT STAMFORD BRIDGE. WITH CHELSEA MAKING 437 PASSES, WITH AN 85% PASS ACCURACY (AND 50% POSSESSION), AND TOTTENHAM, 438 PASSES, WITH AN 88% PASS ACCURACY (AND ALSO 50% POSSESSION.) CHELSEA’S PLAYERS ‘PLAYED WITH GUSTO’, HAVING 11 SHOTS, WITH 5 ON TARGET, AND IT WAS, INDEED, ONE OF GUSTO’S POWERFUL SHOTS, WHICH JUST WENT WIDE, WHICH ADDED TO THEIR FRUSTRATIONS IN THE FIRST-HALF. AND CAICEDO’S GOAL (WHICH WAS RULED OUT FOR BEING MARGINALLY OFFSIDE) WAS A SIGHT TO BEHOLD,
AND WAS DEFINITELY ONE TO BE PROUD OF! (OFFSIDE OR NOT!) BUT IT WAS THE SHEER DELIGHT OF WATCHING CUCURELLA PASS TO PALMER, AND HIS LONG PASS OVER TO FERNANDEZ WHICH HE HEADED INTO GOAL,
AS EASY-AS-YOU-LIKE, WHICH WILL SURELY BE THE STAR MOMENT OF THE EVENING. IT WAS A VERY FEISTY MATCH, WITH 5 YELLOW-CARDS-A-PIECE, AND MUCH PHYSICALITY THROUGHOUT BETWEEN THESE TWO OLD RIVALS, WITH TOTTENHAM TENACIOUSLY EYEING AN EQUALISER.
PREMIER LEAGUE : CHELSEA VS TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR – 03/04/2025
INDEED, TOTTENHAM’S SARR (WHOM THE TRAVELLING FANS HAD NOT BEEN HAPPY ABOUT BEING SUBBED FOR BERGVALL) POWERED IN WHAT LOOKED TO BE A SUPERB EQUALISER, (ON FIRST SIGHT), BUT ON REFLECTION (BY VAR) INCLUDED SOME “CLEAR AND OBVIOUS ARGEY-BARGEY” BY SARR ON CAICEDO, INVOLVING SARR’S STUDS!
